Luis Cruz and Dee Gordon for Evan Longoria and Price. Cruz batted .297 while Longo batted .289, plus they won't be able to afford Longoria long-term. Better fit financially for them and they get a speedy SS that has tons of potential.

I have more confidence now than ever that Belt can consistently perform like he showed toward the end of the year. Big plus if he's finally got it all together.

Add to that some confidence and consistency from Crawford, who also improved over the season, and there's two big plusses to look forward to.

Plus, this will be year 3. This is the time when players should bust out. In year 1, players are unknown and pitchers don't know how to pitch them. In year 2, pitchers adjust and the hitter needs to adjust back. Year 3, the hitter found his proper adjustments and is ready to put everything together.

No way Longoria can net Cruz alone. Cruz is set to be a superstar in this league for years to come. Probably need to work Cano in on a 3 team deal. TB gets Cruz, Yankees get Dee to take over for Jeter, Dodgers get Cano and Longo.
